Love unconditional.... it Is everywhere and in all places ... SNIPPETS....

The one emotion that keeps us going and soothes the heart, the mind, the body and the soul ... LOVE UNCONDITIONAL... it is found freely EVERYWHERE and in soooooooooo many hearts and places .... it starts within and projects without....

When given freely and unconditionally from the most simplistic creatures it is doubly awesome ... 

Back to work today after the most challenging week ... I am fine and strong and surrounded by love and caring family, friends, peers, and an awesome cyberfamily in this ObesityHelp community ... I am blessed indeed and thank you all for your noble support and encouragement ALWAYS!!!

These are snippets of my journey 6 years and 3+ months post RNY WLS... maintaining a loss of 203 pounds seamlessly ...

My awesome poodles (3) are the most loving therapy dogs ever ... shoot even my ferrets surround me with love unconditional 24-7... OMG the doggies just HAD to be in the picture LOL...

And when I was about to take a close-up with my dolly whose hair I tried to fix like mine (they hate her I think the doggies are jealous of her LOL) here came the doggies to be in the picture too...

and Chip my chocolate tiny man gave me a BIG KISS and sent me off to work...

Thanks for allowing me to share SNIPPETS OF MY JOURNEY as I share entries into my empowerment journal 'A Picture A  Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away'  this was my BEFORE ... still me in a smaller frame.... 

I am embracing JOY over misery and making it happen to me ... one day.. one choice at a time.... (Viejo and Mela we are going to be alright ... I.GOT.THIS!)...

Thanks for allowing me to share... YIKES ... BACK TO WORK WHAT'S ALL THIS ON MY DESK?????? TTYL

BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY AND FULFILLING DAY TO ALL ... 

Your so encouraging. Thanks so much for sharing your life journey. I have well over 200 lbs to lose. If you dont mind me asking, Did you have any plastics done?. You look so great!!!

I had an insurance paid panniculectomy and a self-paid (Christmas gift from daughter/son and DH) modified brachioplasty. I WANT a lower body lift but that should remain a want and not a need for now LOL ... 

This is me 1 months 2 weeks after panniculectomy NO ABOVE NAVEL WORK AT ALL.... 

I made drain covers since I had to keep my drains in for a while... this is my collage before and post panniculectomy..

That is so awesome!! I know Im going to have excess skin after Im done losing and Ive been thinking about what Im going to do afterwards. If I was younger I think Id definitely have it removed. I guess Ill just have to wait and see if I can live with it or not. You lost an incredible amount of weight and look fantastic!! I can only hope for the same results.

And now you know why I love dogs way more then people.  Dogs never do anything maliciously with cruel intent, they live, they love, they give without asking for anything in return.  People ehhhh not so much. 

Here are my babies taken on Memorial Day.

Bailee

Kymber

OMG Heidi they are sooooooooooo beautiful and so much more beautiful each time you post ... they are absolutely ADORABLE ... I love love love my dogs and I DO KNOW why and how you love yours too.... 

Your babies are PRECIOUS I could just reach through the screen and pet them... thanks so much for sharing them .... I love the little hearts with their names ... the same red hearts that mine have with their name on one side and my addy and info on the other ,,, awesome!!!

I love your doggies too, they are all so cute.  I still think Chip might be my fav though, if I played favorites which I don't.  I am totally about fairness, if one gets a carrot the other gets a carrot and every toy has to be bought X2.  Although there really is no point, my dogs play keep away more then they play with the toys.  They love the deer antlers the best though, I would suggest them but your dogs are so tiny it might not be appropriate for them.  I would love to be able to carry mine around too, but as you can see they are much bigger then lap dogs.

I hope you are doing okay, I know the loss is so hard, but I know you will do something magical to honor your father besides what you do everyday just being you.

l love them ALL equally ... they sit like cats on the windowsill waiting for me to come home ... then they run to the top of the stair LOL

They jump on the sofa then to the window ... real acrobats LOL

My dogs watch everyone from the picture window to determine which door you are going to and then run to the right one to wag their tails off greeting you.  They love to jump too, but we are trying to stop that behavior.  They love when anyone comes in.

I've been thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers this week. Sending love to you for your loss. Your resilience, grateful spirit and focus on unconditional love are inspiring to me. May you continue to find love and peace during this time. 

It is also inspiring how you have maintained your loss seamlessly and during your most difficult times you do not go back to old destructive habits. 

I look forward to your posts and I really appreciate what you write. Thank you.
